Happy Birthday Jesus!

Happy birthday Jesus!

"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.  He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.  While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.  And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.  An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.  Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.'”  Luke 2:4-14

I love reading the story of the birth of Christ.  It is the birth of my Savior!  That is just so exciting!  How incredibly wonderful and awesome!  

God, I praise You!  I praise You for sending your Son to this Earth to live, suffer, die and rise again for me.  Thank You Father.  

Today, Christmas Eve, take time out from your celebrations to worship Jesus.  Read the story of His birth from Matthew 2 and Luke 2.  Praise God for His gift to us, the gift of His Son.  

I pray that you all have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.  Remember to keep your focus on Jesus.

Sweet Blessings~
